Male Charm Storage
Delay

All of the gunshots leading up to Owen have been revealed as per the order Richard gave.

Owen was silent as Richard threw his first fist at him. He smiled ridiculously at Richard.

Richard was about to do a second blow but Owen parried it. The fight happened and was witnessed by all the guards there.

Owen took a quick glance when things were safe and in accordance with his plan. Without even realizing it, Jeff had been carried out of the basement to be rescued by the man who had been holding him. He was James' man. This is their first plan, saving Jeff first.

Owen was clearly defeated by the attack Richard had given him. In addition to the condition of his body that is still weak with internal injuries that have not completely dried up, the focus is also not a victory against Richard but a rescue mission Jeff.

Richard chuckled - chuckling as he saw Owen coughed and spewed a lot of blood through his mouth. He smirked in satisfaction, not yet realizing something was missing from the room.

"With weak conditions alone you still dare to challenge me!" richard's murmur was accompanied by a loud whistle.

Owen held his own stomach. It looks like his scar is going to get worse again, but it will give James a chance to see him again to devise another plan: to take Owen out of the containment room.

"I feel like I'd really want to kill you! But, I can't wait to see the medicine react. I want you to bow down to me and completely forget who you are!" Richard pointed at Owen's face with a loud ruckus.

However, the atmosphere of silence resuscitated him for a while because he had still heard the baby's whining incisions.

Richard looked left and right. Looking for something he had neglected. Jeff's? Where's Jeff?

"the baby? Where's the baby?" Richard asked all the guards there. But the next situation was chaotic because everyone there was no one to know if Jeff had been rushed out of the stuffy room.

"Breng sek!" curse Richard. He looked at Owen who was now chuckling at the end there while still holding his own stomach.

"You tricked me, you are vain!" Richard snorted loudly. His breathing is irregular.

"What are you waiting for! Find that baby around here or anywhere!" strangle him to all the bewildered guards because of all that goes unnoticed. Since then they shifted attention to see the dispute Owen and Richard so forget the guard on Jeff, after all they did not expect if there was one of them who would take Jeff out of the room.

"I told you your plan was crazy!" James lectured while treating Owen's bruised stitches, the seams re-opened after a fight with Richard moments ago.

Owen grimaced as he chuckled softly. The most important thing for him is that Jeff has been saved.

"But thanks to my plan, you can come and treat me again, right?"

James just clucked his tongue at the words of his best friend.

"How about Jeff?"

"Until now I don't know how you're here!" Owen let out a short sigh and looked at James as if demanding the man's answer.

"Since your marriage to Gloria, I've been suspicious of Celine."

"The line? What does all this have to do with Celine?"

"You're too funny to her!"

"What am I paying attention to!" sahut Owen's.

"She's a woman of ambition. I accidentally heard her talk over the phone back then!" James knew for sure that Celine would not stay silent with the marriage of Owen and Gloria, let alone that time she became a woman who was eliminated. Owen's kindness towards him does not make him remember it just makes him forget himself and increasingly want to have Owen.

"What did you hear?" ask Owen.

"He approached Sean. He knew your relationship with Sean wasn't very good for a long time."

"So, Sean's appearance in my life was because of Celine? The tragedy of Gloria and Sean being trapped in an elevator in the mall is engineering?"

"I think so, that's why I was quite surprised when you brought Gloria to my hospital because of the incident. You also said that meeting Sean. I took the initiative to investigate it secretly behind your back!"

"You should have told me from the beginning!"

"I'd like to tell you, but I think it's a good idea to investigate first because I don't know Sean's motives, why he would agree to Celine's proposal to approach Gloria. I didn't expect him to devise Jeff's abduction strategy. From my investigation, I only know Celine's plan!"

"What's the plan?"

"Celine's trying to slander Gloria in front of you. He's plotting the story of Sean and Gloria's affair in front of you! He's getting pissed when you move him to work at another branch. He also messed up Gloria's feelings after your honeymoon, he just hoped Gloria would really have an affair with Sean when you invited Sean to stay at your Mansion" explained James.

".... Unfortunately, that didn't happen because you just told Sean to stay in your apartment and it turns out Sean also had his own plans at that time. Sean's ruined Celine's plan."

"Yes, and it was Jeff's abduction!" timpal Owen rubbed his own face.

"Yup! It was a plan I didn't know about, because I was just following Celine's lead. After that incident he did not appear at all to come to your Mansion!"

"Jeez ..." murmured Owen. "Then, how can you disguise yourself as a Doctor Mateo?"

"That's because my brother is a man Mark trusted enough. He's been working with Mark for a long time and I asked him for help to help you. She recommended me to be a Mateo, and I didn't waste the opportunity."
